Overview

Investigations, Disputes & Intelligence.

When something goes wrong, or when you suspect it might be, you need a team that knows how to find the truth and handle it properly.

FACT brings together specialists across investigation, intelligence, and digital forensics teams to support businesses, law firms, and other organisations with a multitude of issues from internal investigations, intellectual property theft, content and brand protection to asset tracing, locate trace enquiries, litigation support, and test purchase operations.

FACT supports clients across multiple areas including the following:

PROTECT YOUR BRAND. STOP COPYCATS. ENFORCE YOUR RIGHTS.

Content, Brand & IP Investigations

We investigate misuse of your content, brand and IP across online and offline channels, identifying infringing sellers, counterfeit routes and unauthorised distribution. We gather verifiable evidence (OSINT, discreet enquiries and test purchases where appropriate) and support swift enforcement, including takedowns, cease-and-desist activity and litigation.

Intelligence and evidence that strengthen strategy—and deliver results.

Litigation & General Investigation Support

HR & Internal Investigations

We conduct fair, discreet investigations into misconduct, grievances, fraud and policy breaches, protecting both the organisation and individuals involved. We gather and assess evidence, produce clear findings, and support HR and legal teams through to resolution.

Discreet surveillance. Reliable intelligence. Evidential results.

Surveillance & Covert Intelligence Gathering

We plan and deliver discreet surveillance and intelligence activity to establish facts, corroborate claims and identify key parties. Outputs are documented accurately, with time-stamped observations and evidence handled to evidential standards.

Covert test purchases—verify, evidence, and report.

Test Purchase Operations

We conduct covert online and physical test purchases to verify suspected counterfeits, diversion or misconduct and to evidence the customer journey. Each operation is planned, documented and reported clearly to support takedowns, enforcement and litigation.

Forensic digital evidence—preserved, analysed, and court-ready.

Digital Forensics

We identify, preserve and analyse digital evidence from devices, cloud platforms and communications to support investigations and litigation. Our methodology is forensically sound, with clear chain-of-custody and reporting built for legal scrutiny.
